Heels not surprised at success

Posted Oct 4, 2005

North Carolina's football team isn't half bad. All things considered, that's pretty darn good. Shocked to life two weeks ago with a win over rival N.C. State, the Tar Heels now are fully revived at 2-2 after beating Utah 31-17 on Saturday. If you ask them, it's no big surprise. “We've got athletes just like everybody else has,” junior wide receiver Mike Mason, a Rocky Mount native, said. “We can play with anybody.” (Rocky Mount Telegram)
